Beautymate Purifying & Hydrating Nano Toner [美肌の志 - 净白补水纳米化妆水]


Here's a simple review on Beautymate Purifying & Hydrating Nano Toner ( 美肌の志 - 净白补水纳米化妆水). Guess this brand is no strange to all of you, it's quite a well-known skincare brand in Taiwan and so in Malaysia which widely sell in drug stores!


Let see what's the ingredients within and how it works!


---------------- Ingredients ----------------
The main ingredients in Beautymate Purifying & Hydrating Nano Toner (120ml) are:
- Pearl extraction (brighten skin tone)
- Ginkgo biloba extract (hydration & boost metabolism)
- Morus alba extract
- Glucosamine aggregation sugar
- Aloe vera extract
- Licorice extract
- Hyaluronic acid


 ---------------- Texture and Scent ----------------

It's designed with a pump so that it's easy for us to control the amount that we needed. For the texture, since it's a toner, it's in solution form. This product amazed me as the particles are 'nano' enough to be fully absorb by our skin within seconds to 1 minutes, leaving with zero stickiness. I like the scent as it's very light and refreshing.


---------------- Functions ----------------
Beside toning our skin, it helps to maintain the moisture level in our skin, meanwhile bring up a healthier skin complexion, leaving us with soft and baby smooth skin. It contains glycoproteins which play a great role in increasing moisture balance by 60% in cuticle up to 15 hours or even more.



 ---------------- How to use ----------------
After cleansing your face, moisten a cotton pad with Beautymate Purifiying & Hydrating Toner. Stroke it all over your face and even neck in a upward motion until it's thoroughly absorbed.
*Can be apply in the morning and evening.


---------------- How I feel ----------------
Personally, I love the scent as it's really light and fresh. Moreover, after applying it, it leaves my skin with non-greasy and non-sticky feeling. I can instantly feel my skin be moisturized and I really feel comfortable with it. Sometimes, I get irritated as some of the toner can make my skin get really oily and sticky after an hour.

Natta Cosme Cerro Queen Makeup Brush Set

After waited for nearly a month, I got my Cerro Queen Makeup brushes with me now. All thanks to Nationwide courier service and they even asked me to pick up the parcel myself at their office. Nah, they don't deliver parcel, they called people to pick up parcel. 
But still feeling thankful that Natta Cosme for putting up so much effort on tracking my parcel and all.

Lets start!




---------------------------- Packaging ----------------------------
The overall packaging on Natta Cosme Cerro Queen Make Up Brush Set comes with most of the girls' favorite color, sweet or baby PINK! Pink simple-designed pouch, pink brushes and pink handle! Everything pink which totally enlighten us girl!

The brush handle is made of Eco-friendly painting wooden handle.



 ---------------------------- Brush Set ----------------------------
Each set consists of 7 brushes. Actually there's no limitation on what kind of brush to suit on a specific function, but make sure that they function at their best and maximum usage regarding on their shape and size. Of course they are created for something with its own characteristics.

For the brush materials, they are fibers with combination of white and pink on the brush tip.
This fluffy thing is powder & blush brush which can be used to apply light loose powder (in circular motion), blush powder or even compact.

Eye liner brush which can be use for details make up, like doing eyeliner or applying eye shadow on lower lash line. It can be used for smudging pencil or gel liner purposes as well.

This is angle brush as you can see that the brush is slightly angled so that it's easier for us to create a better shape. It's used for applying eye brow powder or smudging purpose after drawing with eyebrow pencil.

This is eye lash brush which can be used to 'comb' your eye brows in shape or smudging purpose after applying eye brow liner for a more natural finish. Meanwhile, it can be used to separate clumpy eye lashes.


This is eye shadow brushes which can be used to apply eye shadow, doing highlight on brow bones and even blending purposes.



 ------------------- Simple Retro Make up -------------------
After applying Skin79 CC Cream, I got my concealing job done with Office Concealer 04 and 06. It's the best concealer I have used so far.
I have started off the make up with Mary Kay at Play Baked Eye Trio - Tuxedo. Apply grey around your eye socket with medium size brush to create an illusion of eye creases like European . Blend it with black on your double eye lid, so that your parallel eyelid appears to be obvious and creating larger eyes. Lastly, blend all the eye shadows well with the largest eye shadow brush.

Apply plum from Mary Kay at Play Baked Eye Trio - On the Horizon on your lower lash line using eye liner brush. After brushing off excess eye shadows on tissue paper, apply light peach at the inner corner of your eyes and 1/3 away from there to enhance sharp features.

 I am hereby using Office eye brow powder, it can create softer brows compare to eye brow pencil. Apply eye brow powder with eye brow brush, make sure your eye brows are nicely shaped before that. Follow your own eye brow shape will be fine.

 Then, shape your brows with eye lash brush. Using lash brush to brush the front part of your brows more, so that it looks way more natural. Remember that brows should be light on the front of brows then darker on arch and medium-dark on the end. You can always drag the brown shade from front part of brows to the side of your nose bridge. It can create sharp nose effortlessly.

After done with the eye parts, I blushed my cheek with Anna Sui blush powder using blush brush.

 Eventually, got my lips done with Mary Kay at Play Just for Lips.

Final look! Make use of your scarf as a hair band for this simple retro look!



 ---------------------------- Rating ----------------------------
Advantage: The materials of the brushes are soft and it won't hurt our skin when applying make up.I love the fluffiness of the blush powder, I feel comfortable with it touches my skin. It's easy to carry around in bag for touch up purposes and it can be a good start for make up beginner. Lastly, the price is affordable and they are having promotion now! (Within RM30)

Disadvantage: For the eye shadow brushes, it tends to make powder-like products to be clumpy. Application of times are needed using the brushes as the colors can't appear to be vibrant especially for eye shadows for one-off-application. Too bad that there's no lip brush in this set.

Have fun with make up!

Suspected Dengue

Well, recalled back that I have fever on the second day of lunar Chinese New Year. It lasted for 2 days. Gift for CNY.
Recalled again for the last 20 years, I have less than 5 times of fever. I seldom got sick! My mom said that it's good to have fever as it shows that 'you are growing up'. How ridiculous that I seldom have fever, it means that I seldom grow up and so my height wtf.

As I got some of the dengue fever symptom, like vomiting, headache, nausea and rashes all over my body. I got suspected to have dengue fever as amount of platelets in my body reducing. Luckily everything's fine now, I'm all healthy and rashes started to fade off.

But still, I have learn few things. Besides some of the to-do-things when visiting hospital, (I don't really been to hospital), I felt so much love from my friends and some even not really counted as close friends. They sent in some of the regards and showed concern about my healthy condition. Even shorty, he was so concerned about my health, asked me to drink more water, have bitter gourd and all. Some of them even called and wanted to visit me in hospital LOL.Thanks for all. Even though it's just a simple text but it did work deep in heart. I knew who you are and it shows something between us.

Somehow, I still expect some regards from the old friends who I fought with in the previous. THEY DON'T FUCKING CARE. No message and none! Maybe they saw it and it just passed by their Facebook walls and well I saw them discussed about a food gathering. It's not at all about any relationship thing but some concern, even though we are no longer friends? Even stranger they sent in regards.

Yeah, why should they care? Who am I to them? Even though it's a 3 years friendship, but after all the drama, the friendship flushed away well in the toilet bowl. Just a piece of shit.

I felt even sad when I browse through Facebook's look back, it's all the old face who is a no one now. Ours memories which gone to be no more related now.

I shouldn't expect much from people who don't care about me. It shows how stupid and naive am I being such a sentimental human, trying to engage with them. They don't give a fuck and why should I?

Sometimes it's such melancholy to see the real world, the truth. Can't really bear it sometimes.
